Should Washington Post be considered a journalistic endeavor?

The WashPo is without question a propaganda piece for the left and Democratic party. It should have to adhere to the laws of any other PAC. It is harmful to a democracy when "Journalists" with a clear political agenda are afforded such protections and status.

Any reasonable person can see they are not in least bit unbiased in their reporting or coverage.

This is very true in fact over the past 10,000 years we are in a relatively cold period. See the link which is a temperature graph going back 10,000 years. Natural Climate change is normal. Climate Change alarmist are zelots with political motivations largely and others that are misinformed.

Then don't offer them. That $500M was available to any company. Wasn't just for Amazon.

Cities compete Nationally for businesses. They have to. This analogy is like a guy trying convience a girl to marry him. He buys the nicest car a big house has to spend 1/4 of his years salary on her engament ring just to marry her.

So is this female terrorism? Getting bullied by the female gender? It's how the game is played.

You are missing the major point.

Business are LEAVING NY because of the extremely high taxes. There is a huge budget deficit in NY State. The City really NEEDED that economic activity.

What people don't get is fundamental math. It was a slight tax break, So instead of taxing them at 3% they would tax them at 2.85% over 25 years. It wasn't handing them $3B of funds sitting on the table. There are also aren't 25K direct and 50K indirect high paying jobs coming to NYC anytime soon, actually they are losing jobs.

So you end up with nothing. In a city that needs to diversify away from Finance and Real Estate and into Tech you lose.

This is like whining about how a hot girl can demand that a guy has to buy her an expense engagement ring, but at the end of the day that's how the game is played.

If you post things they deem as politically divergent from their ideals you get a bad social platform score. Your post get higher "gravity". If you continue to post things against their ideology you get put in social media jail and eventually your get banished altogether.

The amount of click bait on Slashdot is getting more than I can bear. It didn't predict make a meteorological forecast ie. wind. It made "wind power predictions" by combining wind forecasts and historical wind turbine power generation data. You can do this with a simple spread sheet.

We have been doing this for years and this is nothing new. This is news because it has Googles name in it and the AI buzz word.

Simply astonishing what people will write up as an article and it makes as "news"

Comment This is from the Studio. False Flag (Score 3, Interesting) 840

I have watched this closely. There have been numerous very recently stories about how men are bashing this movie etc. Yet, as far as I can tell no one has or can bash this movie. Having followed film releases, a similar strategy seems to emerge. The studios get a pre-relase feed back, realize the film is going to bomb and purposely find a group to blame the poor showing on. So they are false flagging basement dwelling men as the reason this film will do poorly. They already know it's audience pre-screening is bad, so they are going to find something to blame other than themselves.
